John Sillett game #
Luton Town 17th in Division One | Coventry City 11th in Division One

This tie was played at Filbert Street because of Luton’s away-fan ban. City’s injury problems worsen when acting skipper McGrath goes off with a gashed eye after 20 minutes. Rodger and Sedgley have a nightmare at the back and 5,000 fans sing ‘we’re even worse than the Villa’.
